  1. Some interesting page of present world ... http://www.automotorblog.com/watch-counterfeit-engine-oil-russia/ some pics http://www.automotorblog.com/watch-counterfeit-engine-oil-russia/counterfeit-engine-oil-russia-10/
  2. Also i have a question about oil change. I have my vrs mk1 since 2010 and in the first 2-3 years i used castrol edge 5w30 full synt, until once i had oil pressure problems. The engine lost oil pressure at all when i revved the engine abowe 4000rpm, the after a while the oil pressure came back suddenly. The problem was that the oil had a lot of residue/sediment and was stuckin the oil line and some of oil recirculating valve . So it was a misterious thing ,and after a google search after a Fake castrol oil i found that many pages are talking about that thay are fake castrol replicas, so i booked that was the reason. I changed to motul 5w30 8100 xclean+ ,which was working well. Now i have to change the oil and i want to change to Motul 5w30 or 5w40 300v power racing the metal packaged one to avoid the potential fake products.(sorry but for eastern europe countryes manytimes we had produced fake products specially for those countries) Now my question is that what is the difference in 5w30 and 5w40 ?? i think the thickness at warm engine is higher with 5w40 or ? It is better to change from 5w30 to 5w40 for a 208k km onboard or what does that change if a change to ? or just stick with my 5w30 used since i have the car ? The car doesnt use any extra drop of oil so the reason which i want to change to 5w40 is perhaps would be more powerfull at high temp. engine at summertime than with the 5w30 ...but its just my tought , please feedback your opinion about ! Thanx in advance
  3. My mechanic also do the same , just he do twice the start, and without ignition just starter. The engine has enough oil to doesnt make any bad to it . Better thing is that you remove the whole used oil from the conducts.,and make more way for the new one.
  4. doesn't use a drop mine too. But i was curious the difference between 5w30 and 5w40, also i read that 10w40 at wintertime could start had knocking engine sound for a few sec, did you had those with 10w40 ? because of thikness the could oil cannot go up to top of engine so quick perhaps...!
  5. just a question I use motul 5w30 on my vrs mk1 2002 stage1 , so i would like to know if i change to motul 300v power 5w40 what will be the difference if would be any ? My tought is that maybe summer at hot engine the 5w40 oil would be more viscous ,stable at high degrees, but i'm curious about others opinions. Is there better to use the 5w40 in a 208k km onboard vrs or just stick with the good 5w30 as used since i have the car ??? thanx in advance
  6. So , it seems to have a situation when its better to have a recirc dv even if im on stage 1 , and maybe fit a CAI for raising dv sound ... Do the tension of dv spring affect my boost as sometimes its waveing between 1 - 0.6 - 1 - 0.6 bar ???
  7. I have stage 1 remap on my vrs mk1 , so it does for a short while 1.5 bar , and keeps about 1 bar ,i'm running on stock DV. My question is that do i need to change to an athmospheric BOV and which diameter ? or need to change the spring tension in my stock dv , or can i leave like it is ??? Maybe a CAI do the sound job than ... Thanx in advance ...
  8. That spare hole for extra sensor is also M10x1 threaded ????? Because i have sensor with 1.8"-27 NPT thread !!!! Thanx for advice ...
  9. So i will take in decision or to sell the 2 months old non oem springs and find an original one , or just take it out and cut off a bit to set to the correct height ???? It doesnt make too stiff i think as perhaps just a bit of cut from spring would be enought to reduce 1,5 cm aprox Of course the oem would be the best choice but i will take in decision how much it cost , and am i able to sell the other ones ... i'm hasitating 2 month ago , sometimes seemed its ok the height sometimes its too high ...grrrr
  10. I measured the height... It is 67,2 both side in Front and is 59,8 RearLeft and 66,2 on the rear right , maybe because i changed at rear right the sparewheel with other pressure,size of tyre ...(rear right 225/45r17 rear left 205/50r17) In the front is just 2.2 bar pressure , it seemed to be a bit less than it needed i used before 2.4 ,2.5 but now thay changed at the service and thay filled just 2.2 so it is 7mm higher than it was posted by silver bullet on the front , but it seems to be higher at sight. dont know ... i can put 3 fingers easyly (almost 4:)between top of tyre and wheel arc and thats a bit high... Also i saw some of original (factory) Vrs pics on the net vhere the front sets higher than the back of the car ... Can be higher caused by the Shocks ?? Bigger gas pressure or something ?
  11. I agree with PaulMig as i had also the same thermostat problem , heat never goes beyond 80grade and drops to 60 on highway, i had a small obd2 to bluetooth adapter connected to my phone app "Torque" and i diagnosed the Thermostat problem .. Also i had for 2 years the Pressure drop between turbo and throtle valve , i had until now changed almost all of my PCV circuit hoses, it corroded from oil and broke , now is going perfect without problem in ECU and is more more powerfull. Until now i changes the Whole PCV in the pic attached below... the Bottom L shaped was cracked totally before 1 year, the 2 S shaped also cracked one before 2 months ago and the second one before 15 months ago , the Y shaped and another one i changed 1 months ago , it caused big stutter on IDLE and many CEL problems in ecu , also changed the T shape as it was like chewinggum http://www.google.ro/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fi391.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Foo358%2FVanilaFejs%2FAUQ%2Fawesomebreathers.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.skodacroatia.com%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3Ftopic%3D8942.0&h=448&w=449&tbnid=heXksnjAdnxu6M%3A&zoom=1&docid=3aoVvx50qjx9XM&ei=VhBNU93FKcjNygOc6oLoAg&tbm=isch&ved=0CAoQMygCMAI4rAI&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=1546&page=15&start=283&ndsp=22 i know it is old posts but it should be usefull for someone ...
  12. Mine is sitting exactly the same height :( , after changing the whole suspension in the front as it was broken both springs and the dumpers was completely bad. I didnt changed to OEM parts , springs are Lejsjofors and the dumper (shocks) are KYB (kayaba) , I' m desperated as it settled higher alot then before , of course if it was broken springs was too low but anyway it is far higher thanit should be . I dont know which is guelty , the shocks , the springs , or the rubber suspension bearing holder ??? I didnt notice any paintmarks on the new springs ... I will measure the height from ground to wheel arc. But anybody know where it should measure the ground clearance of 119mm ??? Thanx in advance Heres the link to my google drive with some pics https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2gHOJpLd8MEWjlaMGUzcHBua1E&usp=sharing The dirty car pics are about 1 months settled , the other pics are about 3 month ago settled ..
  13. Yess i realized , after found some interesting sheme of the suspension . Now i have to change the rear shocks. I found Monroe E1222 or Monroe 23890 ... someone have some suggestion ??? Or if you know pro and contra's about some brands to use in vrs on rear ??
  14. its almost like mine , maybe 1 cm lower anyway , as far as i will change back to 17" than i can compare better. Sorry i dont know the english name of that rubber thing which is also must change with shock absorbers , i think its comming on the top of the damper... There is difference in that rubber for Vrs and for Normal Octavia ???
  15. Thanx for your suggestions , ... now i see the things more closely but there is still some fog aroud lets explain a bit my notices. So i had broken springs , so i ordered the lesjofors springs as i was also hasitating to find the special one for VRS exactly,. It seemed that this spring is specially for vrs as it was suggested just for vrs on many sites i found and markets. So when arrived, my mechanic removed the old one and said that i need to change the dampers too because of bad dumpers was broken my spring. In time rush he could change just one of the springs as it comes the christmas. So it was fitted one new spring on the left side of car , and anything else was remain as old.(until the dumpers will arrive ) I was surprized as the height it was the same as the right side where everything was old ,unchanged. So my conclusion was that the new spring didnt raised the cars height ! After the dampers came (i also find just one type of replacement so i think it should be specialy the same as the oem part , at least in dimensions), and my mechanic changed the whole things which usually people change in this case , the car raised xx mm i dont know exactly but it seem so me about 25-30 mm The mechanic said that the car should settle a bit. And now i have the winter tyres on 16 rims so maybe when i will put back the 17" summer tyre/rims and the car will be settled the height will be a bit lower , maybe close how it was before...?? I hope so , but im frustrated from the ideea that im fitted the wrong dampers ? Thats why i asked if someone have a recent oem suspension on his vrs could be compared the height or by measure or by photos. I made some photos , just take in mind that the car have now 16" rims ...
